你是否感觉自己的英语被困住了？ 我们将向您展示如何通过关注联系而不是完美来变得无所畏惧和流利
With your American hosts, Lindsay McMahon, the English adventurer and Michelle Kaplan, the New York radio girl, coming to you from Colorado and New York City, USA
In the last episode, we asked if the price of college in the US is worth it
Today, we give you four key vocabulary terms to start a conversation about this topic with a native speaker in English
今天，我们为您提供四个关键词汇术语，以便您与英语母语人士就该主题展开对话
[L] How are you doing today, Michelle? How is life in New York City?
米歇尔，你今天过得怎么样？ 纽约市的生活怎么样？
[M] I am good. I'm good. It's actually a beautiful day today, so I enjoyed it
我很好。 我很好。 今天真是美好的一天，所以我很享受
I had to go somewhere this morning, so I took a walk, and it was nice
今天早上我要去某个地方，所以我散步了，这很好
[L] That is awesome

I'm good. I'm good. It's beautiful here in Denver, Colorado, as well
我很好。 我很好。 科罗拉多州丹佛市的这里也很漂亮
Feeling good. Feeling good, So, Michelle, on the episode last time, we were talking a little bit about asking the question
感觉很好。 感觉很好
所以，米歇尔，在上次的节目中，我们讨论了一些关于提问的问题
is college worth the price in the US
在美国上大学值得吗
Prices are crazy high, but today, when we talk about this topic
价格高得离谱，我们谈论这个话题
I feel like this is something we might talk about our listeners might talk about in English with friends or native speakers
我觉得这是我们可能会谈论的事情，我们的听众可能会用英语与朋友或母语人士谈论
What do you think?
你怎么认为？
[M] Oh, yeah. It's a very, very common topic
哦，是的。 这是一个非常非常常见的话题
I think a lot of people have many opinions to share, a lot of things that they want to learn
我想很多人有很多观点可以分享，很多东西他们想学习
and so, yeah, this is something that comes up, for sure
所以，是的，这肯定会出现
[L] This definitely comes up

So, guys, in this episode, we're going to give you four solid phrases
所以，伙计们，在这一集中，我们将给你们四个固定的短语
that you need to have this discussion yourself, because the whole point of All Ears English is connection, not perfection
你需要自己进行讨论, 因为 AEE 的重点是联系，而不是完美
We want you to be able to take these tools and go out and connect with a native speaker in English or anyone in English, Right, Michelle?
我们希望您能够使用这些工具，走出去与以英语为母语的人或任何以英语为母语的人联系，对吧，米歇尔？
[M] Exactly. Exactly. Very good point, Lindsay
正是如此。 确切地。 非常好的观点，林赛
So, yeah, these are words or expressions that you can use in these conversations
这些是您可以在这些对话中使用的单词或表达方式
So, very, very useful

Should we get into the first one?
我们应该进入第一个吗？
[L] Yeah, let's go for it
是的，开始
What is that first one, Michelle?
第一个是什么，米歇尔？
[M] The first one, it's an adjective
第一个，形容词
It's "prohibitive"
这是“禁止的”
[L] Oh, I love that one
哦，我喜欢那个
[M] Prohibitive. It's kind of fun to say
禁止。 说起来有点有趣
[L] Prohibitive, Yeah, it kind of rolls off your tongue,
And this means something that is just too expensive to be able to purchase
I mean, when I was living in New York
I did feel like a lot of things in New York City were prohibitive
What do you think, Michelle?
禁止，是的，它有点从你的舌头上滚下来
这意味着一些东西太贵而无法购买
我是说，当我住在纽约的时候
我确实觉得纽约市的很多事情都是令人望而却步的
你觉得怎么样，米歇尔？
[M] Yeah, I think it's a famous city for its prohibitiveness
[L] Although, you know what city is really prohibited?
虽然，你知道哪个城市是真正禁止的吗？
It's Tokyo, I mean, you've visited Japan
You and Dan took a trip to Japan, right?
这是东京，我是说，你去过日本
你和丹去日本旅行了，对吧？
[M] I have been there
Yes, it was expensive there for sure
我去过那里
是的，那里肯定很贵
[L] Yeah, I really felt like it was prohibitive
But anyways, these cities are just world-class cities
and you got to go anyways
是啊，我真的觉得这太令人望而却步了
但无论如何，这些城市只是世界级城市
无论如何你得走了
So, how does this fit into education?
Here's an example, guys, Write this down
The cost of education in the US has become prohibitive
And I kind of agree with that
那么，这如何融入教育呢？
这是一个例子，伙计们，写下来
美国的教育费用已经高得令人望而却步
我有点同意这一点
I think 20 years from now
I just don't think kids are going to be able to afford to go to college
我想20年后
我只是不认为孩子们有能力上大学
[M] It's a little bit scary how quickly the prices move up
价格上涨的速度有点吓人
[L] I know, Can you think of any other industry where the prices move up that fast?
我知道，你能想到还有哪个行业的价格上涨得这么快吗？
[M] Oh, there's got to be something
哦，一定有什么事情
But I feel like education is very, very high on the list
What do you think?
但我觉得教育是非常非常重要的
你怎么认为？
[L] It's kind of crazy
So, it's completely prohibitive
And guys, before we move to the next word
Michelle, let's remind our listeners what they should make sure they do so they never miss an episode of All Ears English
